oldfruit Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I was walking past one of the local charity shops and this little gem caught my eye. The seat can be adjusted from 60 cm high up to 80 cm high. Seemed too good a bargain to pass up for a measly £4 and should make my observing time that little bit more comfortable. Hardly shiny new kit but i am pleased with it all the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 That's a cracking bargain Mark, it will save your back no end and make it a lot more enjoyable. Good one mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbird Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 One fault I've found with this type is that the feet sink into soft ground, you need to put something underneath them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfruit Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 I know a guy that might be able to weld a bar across the front feet and back feet which should help and also improve overall stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Nice find and a great buy If you're sinking into soft ground then so will your scope too - ruining polar alignment - I reckon you'll not be on soft ground at all - allways pitch the scope on firm and the chair will look after itself lol - just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbird Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 The ground doesn't have to be that soft, the chair feet are a lot smaller than the feet of a tripod and I weigh considerably more than my scope set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
